Lack (4-2) usually plays the second game of back-to-backs in place of Luongo. He got the nod from coach John Tortorella with this game coming on the heels of Sunday's 3-1 home victory over the Colorado Avalanche.

The 25-year-old Lack's previous start came in the Canucks' 3-2 road victory over the Hurricanes on Dec. 1.

He was given a 1-0 lead early in the first period of the rematch.

Tanev took a pass from fellow defenseman Dan Hamhuis and fired a snap shot from the point that found its way through traffic past Peters at 3:35 for his second of the season.

The Hurricanes started to find their legs in the second period, but found it difficult to get much going against the tight-checking Canucks.

Tuomo Ruutu couldn't find the range against Lack from in tight midway through the period as Carolina's 27th-ranked power play sputtered.

Lack came up big later in the period off the rush, stopping both Riley Nash in the slot and the follow-up chance off the stick of Patrick Dwyer.

Former Canucks forward Manny Malhotra played in Vancouver for the first time with the Hurricanes. The Canucks shut Malhotra down after nine games last season, saying they were concerned for the 33-year-old forward's health following a serious eye injury during the 2010-11 season.

Malhotra got an American League Hockey tryout with Carolina's affiliate this season before being called up to the NHL. He made his debut on Nov. 1 against Tampa Bay.

NOTES: The Canucks don't play again until Friday when they will play Edmonton at home. Vancouver will then host Boston on Saturday. It will mark the Bruins' first visit to Vancouver since their victory in Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup finals. … Carolina will play at Edmonton on Tuesday.

Ottawa-Philadelphia

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Jason Spezza scored the winning goal in the shootout to lift the Ottawa Senators over the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Monday night.

Turris gave the Senators a 4-3 lead with his first in eight games. He carried the puck from his end, moved in along the side boards and sent a shot in off Schenn at 8:21 of the third.

The lead was short lived as Timonen tied it 2:37 later with his second of the season with a floater from just inside the blue line.

Trailing 3-2, the Senators got even 2:21 into the third when a rebound of Bobby Ryan's shot went in off MacArthur for his second of the night. MacArthur has seven goals and four assists in his last 10 games.

Ottawa got off to a better start in the second and took the lead on Wiercioch's power-play goal at 9:30. Ryan made a back pass to Wiercioch, who scored into an open net to make it 2-1.

The Flyers regained the lead with two goals in less than a two-minute span midway through the period.

Voracek tied it with a power-play goal at 11:43, and Schenn made it 3-2 with a shot from the boards at 13:33. Anderson, with traffic in front, never reacted to the shot until he heard the crowd.

Raffl, with his first NHL goal, gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead 8:18 into the game.

Ottawa tied it 1-1 with 9:23 left in the first. Spezza fed MacArthur, who broke in alone on Mason and got his stick on the bouncing puck for his 10th goal of the season.

The Flyers won the season series 2-0-1.

NOTES: D Eric Gryba and C Mike Hoffman were healthy scratches for the Senators. … The Flyers were without C Vinny Lecavalier (back fracture). LW Tye McGinn was recalled from Adirondack (AHL) and was a healthy scratch along with D Erik Gustafsson and D Hal Gill.
